I absolutely loved my session with Claire. It was a birthday gift to see if I liked machine knitting and if I wanted to take it any further, and I definitely do. Claire was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable.I absolutely loved my session with Claire. It was a birthday gift to see if I liked machine knitting and if I wanted to take it any further, and I definitely do. Claire was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable. She tailored the session to what I wanted, introducing me to a machine that she recommended for what I’m interested in, clothing and textile samples. We then spent a happy couple of hours where Claire ran me through set up and the machine capability. We created a sample trying out different techniques, including lace, ladder and using a pattern and Claire recommended places to get a machine. I’m very happy with the session and would definitely recommend it. Thanks Claire + more

You get 4 hours max on the street parking (chargeable) or multi story car park 5 mins away. Robyn was our teacher, what a delight, everyone was at ease immediately and she teaches so well. I really enjoyed today. Happy that having never done this before I actually created 2 items today. I look forward to collecting them once they have been glazed and kiln dried. I'd certainly recommend this class and I would attend again. Thank you. + more
